The three forms in my project have the ability to print in PrintDocument1.Print event. Each print-document consists of only one page in landscape shape and everything works fine. But it seems a bit clumsy to print three times with three buttons. I know, I can use the PerformClick event, but I wonder if there is a simple way to append all three documents into one by clilking only one button in my last form?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to load multiple single page documents and then send them all to the printer in one job. In the end I'd like them duplex printed. At this point I only need to do this with word docs, but I'd like to know if I could do it with other doc types, like pdf? What about printing a one page word document, a two page excel document and a one page pdf document? Have page 1 of the excel on the back side of the word doc, and then the pdf on the back side of page 2 of the excel.

I've been asked to get the page counts for documents stored as tif files. What I have now is looping through our third party software to open them and then get the page count. I can't stop the image from flashing and it is very slow. Does anyone know of a way to loop through them quickly and can the page counts (one image can have many documents)?

How can i print the search result.
I'm a newbie writing my first app. I need help with the following: I need to retrieve the logged in user which = GID, I then need to append it to a URL which will start our Help Desk chat client. I can retrieve the GID easy enough but can't figure out how to append it and pass it with the URL. I found a post which instructed to declare the url as a string also and concatenate it. The UserName would follow the ":" at the end of the Url.

View 4 RepliesMy instructor told us how to print documents and how to use databases. What the instructor did not mention is how to print or print a preview of records within a DatabaseDataSet. The book "Programming in Visual Basic 2010" does not explain how to print or do a print preview of Database Source records from within a form. The only thing I was told was to test the print document first before you try to do a print preview. Within a form I used a DataGridView to add, delete, and update the database. So now all I need to do is figure out how to print the updated records from the DataGridView and how to print a preview of the records within the DataGridView. So I hope my question is clear enough to give me assistance on how I can perform these two actions. Thanks this would be a great help, and since the class is online we can get assistance from any sources that we have.

I am using a dataset control on a form to store and read data from XML files. So far I use the following to write info.

drow("path") = strFilePath
drow("id") = strCreationDate

The problem is I need to APPEND data to the same file. What I do now results in the same file being overwritten. I am dealing with large amounts of data, so I would love a way to append to the file without the need to re-read it with each save.code lines 1-4 are in a loop so that at one time, they add a few hundred rows to the DataSet. After that loop is when the save takes place. However, I want to run that loop again and again every so often to update that same file.
print pdf documents from a vb 2010 app. I have tried 2 techniques that work, but both have some minor issues that I'd like to address. The 1st technique uses command line arguments as follows:
Dim starterStr As String = "/h /t " & Chr(34) & pdfFileName & Chr(34) & " " & Chr(34) & printerName & Chr(34)
Dim starter As New ProcessStartInfo("AcroRd32.exe", starterStr)
Dim print As New Process()
With print

The 2nd technique is more aesthetically pleasing to me, but has the same annoying problem of leaving the Acrobat process running after execution. It also doesn't allow me to set the output printer destination (the above code sends the output to the default printer).

I am trying to append a new line to a text file. Sometimes it posts to a new line (like I want it to) and sometimes it appends to the current line, consequently screwing up my read. I even put VbNewLine in the code.
Here is the snippet:

outputline2 = equip & "," & value
Dim myfile2 = File.AppendText("equiped.txt")
myfile2.WriteLine(outputline2, vbNewLine)
myfile2.Close()

Below is the code which I am using to append data to a text file.

Dim amt As Decimal

Now I would like to save that updated file with another name.
How would I go about uploading an entire directory and all sub-directories and files to a SharePoint 2010 Server?
I don't think this function is specifically built into SharePoint (just uploading multiple documents in one folder). But the way I understand it, I can write something in VB or C# to accomplish this.
Scenario: I have about 14000 word documents that need to be converted from "Microsoft Word 97 - 2003 Document" to "Microsoft Word Document". In other words upgraded to 2010 format (.docx).
Question: Is there an easy way to do this using API's or something? Note: I've only been able to find a microsoft program that converts the documents to .docx but they still open in compatability mode. It would be nice if they could just be converted to the new format. Same functionality you get when you open an old document and it gives you the option to convert it.[URL]..EDIT2: This is my current function for converting the documents
[Code]...
Also it opens word after about 2 or 3 conversions and starts flashing but keeps converting.EDIT3: Tweaked to code above a little bit and it runs cleaner. Takes 1min10sec to convert 8 files though. Considering I have 14000 I need to convert this method will take a reasonably long time.
EDIT4: Changed the code up again. Uses a threadpool now. Seems to run a bit faster. Still need to run on a better computer to convert all the documents. Or do them slowly by folder. Can anyone think of any other way to optimize this?

View 1 RepliesI would like to know if it is possible to have dynamic data in word (2003) documents. Let me explain, I will start with what we do now and how I would like to fix or change it.We have approx 35 , we will call them divisions for the time being, and each division has a folder on the shared drive. We have approx 700 ,lets call them customers for the time, and each customer has a folder located in the associated division folder on the shared Drive. (\DriveDivision#1Customer#1...\DriveDivision#32Customer#348 etc etc etc .)There is a MSword2003 document that exists in every Customer Folder that contains data about that customer (including but not limited too.Contacts, Notes, Customer #s etc) We will call this the DeCust.doc file for the time. A lot of the information in these DeCust.doc files can exist in another customers DeCust.doc files such as a contact name and address. One of the problems we run into is that a contact (lets say Smiths Plumbing Service) may send an email to notify of an address change and the person receiving the email will change the contacts address in the DeCust.doc files of the customers that that employee (employee #1) works with but, there are other DeCust.doc files in other customer folders that the address never gets changed in. When a different employee (employee #2) opens a deCust.doc file of a different customer that he/she works with the contact (Smiths Plumbing Service) the address of this deCust.doc: file is wrong (not updated).
I would like to solve this problem. I have already developed a Demo VB/Database application to be used in lieu of the DeCust.doc files but, I have met Way too much resistance in getting people to switch from using individual docs in each customer folder to using a database program. With that being said, I started wondering if there was a way to Link/populate/fill the contact information in these DeCust.Doc files to a central Database or such that when someone changes an address for a contact it is simultaneously changed in all the other DeCust.doc files.
I have a quick question. One of the functions in the program I am writing is to take all of the data entered, compile it into an HTML document, then place that document into a folder.For the past few days, I have just been using a random folder on one of my hard drives to dump the file in, but the problem is that, in my code, I have supplied the folder location as a string ("E:Practice FilesDocuments"), and therein lies the problem. Trying to test my program on a separate system brought the bug to my attention; obviously, this program can only write this file to a location of E:Practice FilesDocuments, and if any other computer that runs this program doesn't have E:Practice FilesDocuments then there is going to be a problem in the program working the way I have intended
So what I would like to do is instead of having it write the file to "E:Practice FilesDocuments," have it write to the default My Documents folder so that the program is no longer specific to my machine only. The problem is, though, I have no clue what the right code is to use. I first tried using
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location to write the file to the default installation directory. This would have worked, but since this is a VB.NET program, the default installation directory isn't in Program Files and doesn't seem to be meant for users to browse through for their documents, plus it seems that trying to write back to this directory causes some unhanded exceptions and whatnot. I figured it would just be easier to create a folder in My Documents rather than use the install directory (and probably smarter).

I have a Search web reference (from a Search Server 2010 express install) in a vb.net application that is utilizing the QueryService Class to search a production Sharepoint foundation 2010 site.At a previous point in time, we had created a proof of concept on an entirely test system that has since been turfed. From my recollection on this test system when documents were uploaded as a specific site content type (that inherits from document) and metadata was provided, we could search for specific metadata by making managed properties for each, and search results would be returned as documents (with the isdocument flag set to true). Viewing the document then became simple, as we could simply use the filename and path to display the stored file.Now we are developing a production system and we have encountered a new behavior, where these results now are returned as aspx results such as
[URL]
This of course makes it terribly difficult to locate and view the document, we can extract the Title which will then give us the name of the file with no extension, but that hardly helps, as the FileExtension data is aspx, not the documents file extension, so we don't have a full filename. We could display the page returned as a result, but would much prefer the document itself.
I've made a test document library, with just bare bones setup, (not using the site content type, or site columns) and uploaded some documents on the same site, and they are returned in the same fashion, so I don't believe the document library, or content type are the issue.
With a fairly limited understanding of both Sharepoint and Search Server, I don't know if this is a setup issue with the search service itself, with the site configuration, or with the querypacket I am sending. We also have a third party application (Knowledgelake) installed on the server that ties into sharepoint which could have changed configuration somewhere as well?
I don't think the query packet has changed since it was working in the proof of concept, other than the custom data column names. I will provide it here in case there is something glaringly obvious to an external reader.
<QueryPacket xmlns='urn:Microsoft.Search.Query.Document'>"
<Query>

The program allows users to insert Documents along with a bunch of their attributes into the program. The documents are stored in a relational database. One of the required functionalities is allowing the user to look for such documents. The User normally search directly for the obvious attributes of the document, like a unique ID, or it's Title. The problem is that from the search parameters is not allways known which ones will the user fill. For example the user inserts the name and version of the deocument, another time the user enters part of the Title and the person that delivered the document, or might just enter the document number and nothing else. Some of the data might even be incomplete, like title, name of the person who created the document and so on. The idea from the person who designed the system (I'm only reimplementing it) was to allow easier searches for the user, and allowing the user to search for more parameters tod with the idea that "the more parameters, the more specific results", since the results are always group of documents instead of single documents.
